Chapter 273: The Child Issue
When Laura and the others arrived, they found that Zhao Hai had already taken care of everything. Seeing the bloodshot eyes of Zhao Hai, Laura couldn't help but feel pain as she said, "Brother Hai, did you not sleep all night? You should take a rest."
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, "It's fine. You all go clean yourselves up in the space. I'll write a letter to Brother Wells, informing him of the situation here, and arrange a place to hand over Gasol. It’s not a good idea to keep Gasol with us for too long, plus the supplies we obtained from the Giant Horn Tribe are mostly for orcs and we can't use most of them anyway. We might as well send some to Brother Wells."
Laura nodded and said, "Alright, we'll go freshen up while you write to Brother Wells. Once you're done, you should rest in the space. We can keep an eye on things out here; we won't get lost anyway."
Zhao Hai nodded and turned to write the letter. Laura and her companions immediately entered the space to clean up, as they had stayed up quite late the previous night and needed to wake up properly.
Zhao Hai quickly finished writing a letter to Wells. It wasn’t long; it just informed him that he had encountered Gasol and captured him, asking how Wells would like to handle the situation.
After finishing the letter, Zhao Hai returned to the space and called back one of the Blood Eagles he had given to Wells, preparing to send this letter to him.
These Blood Eagles were essentially phantom beasts of the space. No matter how far they flew, the space could still communicate with them. As the master of the space, Zhao Hai could issue commands to these Blood Eagles through the space, without regard to distance.
After giving the Blood Eagle its command, Zhao Hai returned to the ranch space. Yesterday, he had obtained two new magical beasts, and he needed to see what level they could reach in the space.
Upon entering the ranch space, Zhao Hai immediately released the giant horned mighty bull. The space prompt immediately sounded: "Discovered a mutated bovine creature. Identified animal: Level 10 animal, maturation time: 12 hours, can produce offspring 6 times, 6 offspring each time, consumes 2 feed units per hour. Animal data can be purchased in the space store." As Zhao Hai had expected, the level of this giant horned mighty bull was not high.
Zhao Hai didn’t think much of it; after all, the space now had a new type of magical beast, which was enough. He then immediately released the earthwalker bull, and the space prompt sounded again: "Discovered mutated bovine creature. Identified animal: Level 25 animal, maturation time: 20 hours, can produce offspring 8 times, 5 offspring each time, consumes 2 feed units per hour. Animal has mild control over earth elements. Animal data can be purchased in the space store." After stating this, there was no further information, and Zhao Hai wasn’t anxious. He found that upgrading the ranch was more difficult than upgrading the farm. Although he had managed to get quite a few animals into the space, the ranch was still only at level 6. It seemed that getting the ranch to a higher level was indeed not easy.
Zhao Hai sighed. He hadn’t planned to raise earthwalker bulls and giant horned mighty bulls immediately. Raising these two now wasn't very useful; it was better to raise mountain goats and mighty bulls, as both could be exchanged for money among the human race. However, the giant horned mighty bulls and earthwalker bulls wouldn’t be of much use once they reached the continent.
After leaving the ranch, Zhao Hai went to the farm to check on Laura and the others. They had already finished washing and looked much more refreshed.
Zhao Hai glanced at the three of them and smiled, "I think you all don't need to go outside. Just stay in the space; you can keep an eye on things outside via the monitors. When there are people around, you can go out, and the undead beings can drive the car without getting lost. If you really feel bored, you can also go back to Iron Mountain Fortress."
